Posters OK, and bootleg toys, but this is the first of these I've seen (not a link!):

Where did this come from?

I was looking for Indy-type holsters on Ebay. I didn;t mention the link, but have seen other discussions of items on the Bay without links, and thought it was OK. I think it's amazing that there is a market in props before the movie comes out! I'm not sure why it surprised me, as I ordered my AB last May and asked for the creasing ala Indy IV (as it was then known).
Hype is probably too strong a word. It's just the idea of buying the souvenir before you go on the trip is still strange to me.

Well, considering the KotCS holster has a stitched end without a barrel plug, the standard Webley holster/repro would be off. But it probably doesn't matter for those people who wouldn't be able to tell the differencde, anyway.

The holster is not even screen accurate as the auction claims as it has the barrel plug. Looks like a standard Webley type holster to me. Does anyone know who the seller is? I think I'll drop him a line informing him of his mistake!
